EUAN Henderson received an added bonus yesterday after securing the
Benson and Hedges Challenge Trophy and a cheque for #2000 the previous
night at the Hospitality Inn, Glasgow. The talented 22-year-old from
Glenrothes will represent Scotland in the World Amateur championship in
Sri Lanka in November as a replacement for Alan McManus, now compaigning
in the professional circuit.
Henderson defeated former four times Scottish amateur champion Dave
Sneddon of Livingston 4-1 in Saturday's final.
JAMES Wattana, ranked No.33 in the world, staged a superb comeback
yesterday and beat Canadian newcomer Gary Natale 5-4 in the second round
of the Dubai Classic at Blackpool.
Wattana was just one ball from the first whitewash of his professional
career as he trailed by four frames to nil and 53 points to eight before
battling back. The comeback began when novice Natale tried to force the
final red to get position on a colour and fluffed his match-winning
opportunity.
Wattana, the 20-year-old former world amatuer champion from Bangkok,
recovered to 4-1 and then won four successive frames in only 40 minutes
with breaks of 40, 112, 63 and 81.
